      Hi,

      A common name of one word ?
      Normally, it should be "CapAdmins.Simulation.com".

      At least, true (trusted) certificates should be "Simulation.com" and/or "CapAdmins.Simulation.com".

      I'm using a certificate from the ACME package. Just plain rocks.

      For the DNS, the Resolverw as activated by default, never touched it. I added a host override like
      portal brit-hotel-fumel.net 192.168.2.1
      where 192.168.2.1 is my captive portal NIC and portal..brit-hotel-fumel.net the common name of the cert (I own brit-hotel-fumel.net of course).

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

          When you connected your device to the captive portal interface, could you resolve :
          CapAdmins.Simulation.com ?
          It should return "10.1.10.1"

          And your cert contains "CapAdmins.Simulation.com" ?

          And what do you mean by "problems" ?
          Any portal and captive webs server logs ?

          You use the default captive portal login page, right ?

            yes the default web page.

            and yes for the certificate (name and also commun name)

            yes it resolves with 10.1.10.1 for the logs i'll get them right away for u

            Edit : The logs are for authentication i dont even get there i get "bad gateway" in microsoft edge, and "The page isn't redirecting properly" with firefox

            Edit 2 : I tried the host override thing like u nothing changed

              No clues from me.
              Witrhout further details, I'll go for a VLAN issue.

                  Well, I'm using the captive portal for the last 10 years or so.
                  I guess tests are over for me  ;)

                      Never used vlan's.
                      Portal has a dedicated NIC.

                        Captive portal doesn't care if it is on a VLAN interface.

                        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
